At the Annual Meeting, on:the sth inst., the following were ome of the lending results disclosed in the Report to the hareholders. FIRE BRANCH. The Premiums of the year 1863 reached the sum of £341,668 Being an advance of 40,977 ver 1862; an amount of increase exceeding that of any pre ious year. The Revenue from Fire Premiums has been en hanced in four years by the large sum of £113,353 The Duty paid to Government in 1862 was. £75,993 Ditto ditto, 1883 88,966 Showing an Increase in one year of Among the incidents which have tended to the advance lent of the Royal within the last few months may be reckoned n action with respect to the losses sustained by the explo ion of the Lotty Sleigh. which although on'y consistent with he general tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti lately proved to be no more than what had been done in for ler times by the oldest and most proverbially honourable mong its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and public avour by its unhesitating promptness. As the largest total of Revenue and the largest ratio of irogression have been attained In the present year, so it appens that the laest Profit which it has ever fallen to the Mrectors to recor d hots likewist. on this occasion to be an- Lounced. The balance of net profit on the yearhas amounted £83,545 ; of which sum £34,100 only has been appropriate I o Dividend and Bonus, and the large balan .e of £49,444 been curled to Reserve. LIFE BRANCH. The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New tininess transacted in tke last year, is most promising, and he advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In urances effected, show clearly the estimation in which the !ompany is held. The following is a statement for the last ve years : Net Sum Assured on New Policies after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums. 1859 1860 1861 1862 1863 This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum issured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re eived in the Course of five years, may justly be considered as arger than any which could have been reasonably expected. 'he first half of the current year 1864, however, far outfit) ips he ratio of increase indicated by the figures just quoted, as he sum assured for that period of six months only actually, xceeds Half-a-Mil ion sterling. The rate of Mortality, likewise, still presents highly favour ble features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by he quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when he present year is concladd.

Lufra made play, followed by Gemnta and Warrior to the bend, where Lord Stamford's mare gave way and La Gazza Ladra, in company with Master Richard, Lyra, and the favourite, came on together to the stand, where Fordham brought Master Richard to the front and won by a length, two lengths between second and third ; Antoinette was a bad fourth, East Lynn fifth, and Warrior sixth; the others beaten off. Mr Burchell produced a ticket, bearing the number 3,666 and a cancelled mark, which he understood had been given up at the Edgware station; and the ticket clerk at the Portland-road station identified it as one of the two which he had given to the man and woman in question. It ought, he said, to have been given up at the Edgeware station. The Coroner—Then the person who took it must have gone on to the Edgware-road station ? The ticket clerk replied that the ticket could not have available for any station beyond that. Mr Burchell said it must have been delivered up at a station beyond tho Portland-road, and the same night too, as that wits the last train.

In reply to the foreman, the summoning officer said the other ticket had not been found. The Coroner remarked that it was very odd that other persons besides Mrs Wolff had not come forward to state what they knew on this occasion, for many people in the train and at the station must have seen the 'occurrence. The latter made play to the hill, where Light J3ob headed her and carried on the running to the bend into the straight, where Mr Saville's filly again resumed the lead, having Evelina and Caller On in attendance to half way in the die tune°, where the favourite was beaten, leaving the issue with the two, Evelina, who headed her opponent at the stand, winning cleverly at last by a neck, four lengths separating the second and thix C., Caller Oa was fourth, and Merry Wife beaten off. Mr Thomas Sear, of 105, Hampstead-road, said he was at the Portland-road station on Saturday night, and was a passenger in the last down train from Gower-street to Bishop's-road. After the train had started at Portland- I road he saw a man, dressed in dark clothes, on his hands and knees on the platform, and about five or six yards be hind the train. The man was not a porter, for he was not in the dress of one. Witness was in the second compact• ment of the last carriage from the engine. lie know nothing of the accident at that time. Ranco was recalled, and, in reply to the coroner, said on crossing over to the down•platform he got on to it on his hands and knees. BETTING AT MIDNIGHT.

Jakins, a surgeon, deposed that he was called to see the deceased about half-past 12 o'clock on Saturday night, She was then quite dead, Ho had einoo examined the body. The lower third of the left leg was nearly divided in two. There was a large wound on the thigh at tho same side, and the opposite thigh was nearly separated from the body. All the great vessels wore divided on that side, and the wound there would be sufficient to account for instant death. The right fore arm was smashed. Sho might have died from hemorrhage. The deceased was about 30 years of ago, and he thought it right to state that there was a shawl or cloak on the body when he first saw it, so that the wit ness, Mrs Wolff, was, perhaps, mistaken in what she had said respecting the guard. The deceased wore a ring on the wedding finger. Mr George E. Douglas, the master of the workhorse, said the body of the deceased was brought there about 20 minutes past lon Sunday morning. Along with it was a entail reticule, containing a packet of envelopes, some note paper, and 12 lead pencils, with a portmonnaie, in which were Gd in silver and Gd in copper. 'rho witness gave a minute description of her dress, but as that was with the view to the identity of the body, and as it has since been identified, it is not now necessary to state the details. lie added that 23 people had been to view the body for the purpose of identification. The Mysterious Death on the Metropolitan Railway. Thomas Crossley, ticket collector at the Edgware-road station, said the cancelled ticket produced by Mr Burchell appeared to have been delivered up there on the 10th inst., bnt he could not say at what time of the day or night. Mr Henry Fisher, acting fur the general manager of the line in his absence, explained that the ticket in question had been found in a bundle returned from the Edgware station. An inquest was hold yesterday in the Board-room of tho Marylebono Workhouse on tho body, by Dr Lankester, Coroner for Central Middlesex, and a jury chosen from among the principal inhabitants of the neighbourhood, and of whom Mr Jamos Brace was foreman. Mr James Burchell, of Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, one of tho solicitors to the company, attended to watch the proceedings on their part. The jury proceeded to view the body, which was that of a fair-complexioned woman, about 30 years of ago. Tho hair was light, and was plaited over the temples and at the back of the head. George French, the ticket collector at the Portland-road station, said he could not have collected that ticket, and no one had passed without a ticket. Tho Coroner said it was a groat point that the man should be found, and ho hoped any questions that might occur to the jury might be recorded by the press. Mr Brewer was called, and said he did not think the man to whom he issued the tickets talked like a foreigner or with any peculiar accent. Mr Charles Samuel Swift, of 15A, Cleveland-street, a juryman, said he was a stationer, and on Saturday last some one bought pencils of him exactly like those now produced; indeed, ho believed they were the identical pencils. They were of white wood, and had stains on them like stains of blood, but they were stains of logwood. They were bought by a shabbily-dressed man, who had the appearance of a foreigner. Mr Burchell said the authorities of the Metropolitan Railway were most anxious to give every facility to tho inquiry. That was the first person who had boon killed on the line, out of an enormous number of people who had tra veiled on it during the twenty months it had been open. Tho Coroner adjourned the inquest until three o'clock on Monday, the 3d oi October, remarking, as ho did so, that it was much to be desired that persons who had seen the occurrence at the Portland-road station would come forward and state what they know about it. Edwin Brewer, ticket-clerk at the Portland-road station of the Metropolitan Railway, was the first witness called. lie said he had seen the body of deceased. On Saturday late he 'Wit ness told should h ave stood a glass n i g ht last she came to the station about 11 minutes past 12 o'clock, accomp anied b y a ma n abou t 45 or 50 years of age, o f middle height , w earin g a s hepher d ' s p laid c oat and a f e lt hat, lie took two third-class tickets for the Ed geware-road s t a tion.

A man was behind her, and they . were close to gether. Ito did no t see the man enter.

There was always one porter there, and generally two, but he did not see more than ono that night. Wm, Clarke —I am a porter at the Metropalitan Railway and was on duty at the Portland-road station on Saturday night at 12 o'clock. There are usually three p or t ers a t t h at station, one being statio ned on either side, and the other going backward and forward. Ono was ill on Saturday night, so that there were only two on d uty, one on each side. The train was due at 9 m inutes past 12. Before it arrived I ran up stairs to see if there were any more passengers. That would be about 5 minutes past 12. Th e train arrived while 1 was up stairs. As I was going up I met a man and woman. The man asked me if there were any more trains. I said there was ono each way. I told him they must be quick, as the train seas due. 1 went down stairs again, but did not see them. I aftorwards saw a woman lying on the line, I could not say she was the woman I met on the stairs. I had left that side of the station to go to the other side. I crossed over after I had been up stairs. I did that as the train was in the station, and before it started again. Wm. Rance—l am a porter on the l‘letropolitan R a ilw a y.

There are always features pertaining to the great races of the year which prevent the record of them lapsing into the dull detail of routine events. The Derby and the St. Leger have each their distinctive history, and though there may be a stereotyped similarity in some of the details, yet the chief actors in the scene stand ont with a marked individuality always fresh and new. Last year we were chronicling a story of which Lord Clifden was the hero. To-day it is Blair Athol and Gene ral Peel, whose achievements created an excitement as to the respective merits of the two horses scarcely paralleled. It was only on the Town Moor of Doncaster that the ques tion of whether the Derby was a true run race, whether too much was not made of the General in the early part of it, and whether the course here would not suit him better than the Epsom Downs, could be decided. Among the vast crowd that thronged the streets of Don caster from an early hour, but two names, those of the favourites were on every lip :—" Would Sam Scott win the Leger, or would it go to Melton F" Nobody seemed to think of another destination for the prize, despite the claims of the Miner, for had not the Wizard a second string to his bow in Baragah, whom clever people continued to back despite reports of lameness and breakdowns P There are few more striking scenes than the approach to the course from the town on the Leger Day. Confined within a more limited space than a similar :assemblage at Epsom or Ascot, the order and jegularity of the vast throng, all intent on seeing the event, is a sight that often as it has been described has always something of freshness about it. The weather, which had been threatening all the morn ing, gave a taste of its quality half an hour before the race by a downfall of great violence, which robbed the cantering past of much of its interest. The favourites looked magni ficent, General Peel a different horse from what he did at Epsom, and Blair Athol in the perfection of bloom and con dition. The same may be said of Ely, Cambuscan, and Baragah, the three that came more immediately under our notice ; but the increasing rain, which drove in sheets, ren dered seeing anything a difficulty. In the midst of such a storm as has not been seen since Flying Dutchman's year, the lot were despatched in excellent order, the General, Ely, Blair Athol lying in front, and maintaining this posi• tion until the rain hid them from the sight. The detailed account of the race is given below, and it is sufficient here to say that on coming into the straight the colours of Gene ral Peel, Cambuscan, Ely, and Blair Athol were seen in the van; that at the distance a shout was raised " Cambus can wine," while the General, near the rails, seemed rather in difficulties, and Blair Athol coming out at the Stand proved the correctness of the Derby running, and landed the green and yellow jacket amid as much cheering and excitement as could reasonably be expected under the in fluence of the weather.

After ono failure, in which Ely, Cambuscan, Miner, end Knight of Snowdon broke away, they were despatched from the post in a drenching shower of rain, which speedily de stroyed the difference in the colpurs of the riders, and rendered it all but impossible to discern tho relative posi tions of the horses, but as near as we could make out with the assistance of the principal jockeys, General Peel on the inside got away with a slight lead, having Ely, Blair Athol, Baragah, Knight of Snowdon. and Claremont as his im mediate attendants, tko next division being headed by Miner and Black Rock, Brindisi and Cambuscan bringing up the rear. After running in these positions a quarter of a mile General Peel was pulled back, which left Ely in possession of the lead, Miner going on second, Baragah third, close in whose wake came Claremont, Ely, General Peel, and the favourite; but as they neared the hill Miner assumed the command, followed by Baragah, Claremont, and Ely, but on rounding the bend they were joined by the two favourites and Cambuscan, this lot running in company to the rifle butts, where Baragah was observed in advance, having his stable companion in his rear; the pair, however, were headed at the Red-house by Ely, at whose girths were General Peel, Miner, and Cambuscan, who came on so closely together that it was difficult: to discern which was leading. When fairly in the straight Ely gave way, and was immediately headed by General Peel next the rails, who appeared to look as well as anything, but shortly after ho was joined by Cambuscan and Blair Athol, who ran in company to the distance; when Snowdon, in attempting to split the pair, was disappointed, and had to pull round and come up on their right, which lost him some ground, but waiting with exemplary patience to the enclosure, ho came up, and in the next few strides had both his horses safe at the Stand, and won, amid the mcst vociferous cheering, in a canter by a couple of lengths, General Peel obtaining the second money by a head from Cambuscan, who finished four lengths in advance of Miner; Ely was flith, Baragah sixth, Brindisi seventh, and Knight of Snowdon next. Black Rock and Claremont trotted in the last two. Tho Stand Plate handicap of 5 sove each, with 50 added, Or 3 - yr - Ql,clu and upwards. Vag MUT of the POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Sept. 14, MANSION HOUSE.— CITARGY or PERIVRY.— Gustave Stoven appeared before Mr Alderman Waterlow, on remand, charged upon a summons with having com mitted wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr Bosley appeared to prosecute, and Mr Wontner was for the prisoner. The circumstances under which the charge was brought against the prisoner were given fully upon the last examina tion, and it will be remembered that the chug() of perjury was contained in an affidavit which was made and sworn to by the defendant, stating that he knew a Mr Franken hcim, and had had a conversation with him, and he had expressed his intention of leaving the country for Paris, and that he believed Mr Frankenheim was about to leave England. Upon this affidavit a copies was issued against Mr Frankenheim, at the suit of Mr Bailey, a stock broker. The prisoner, from his own statement, acknow edged having signed the document, but said he did not know its nature. It will be remembered that the names of Mr Bradlaugh, managing clerk to Mr. Leveson, a solicitor in B shopsgate, and Bailey, were mentioned in connection with the charge. Yesterday Mr. Besley said ho thought that under the Vexatious Indictment Act the magistrate was empowered to bind the defendant over to appear to answer any charge that might be made against him, and not bind over any one to prosecute, but leave the Government to prosecute if it thought fit. This, however, was overruled by Mr Oaky. Mr Begley said he wished to call the defendant as a witness in another case, and if there were no case made out against the prisoner in this case, the charge could not be supported in the case which was about to come before the court. Mr Alderman Waterlow said', taking into consideration the defence set up by Mr Wontner, ho was willing to deal leniently with the prisoner, and should discharge him. t 4._ Charles Edward Bailey, stockbroker, Royal Exchange buildings, and Chas. Bradlaugh, articled clerk to MrLeveson, soolicitor, at 66, Bishopsgato, then appeared in answer to a summons charging them with having unlawfully, wickedly, and maliciously conspired and combined together to suborn() and induce one Gustave Stoven to swear to a certain false affidavit, and to deceive ono of her Majesty's judges of the Court of Queen's Bench. Mr Beeley prosecuted ; Mr Lever appeared for Mr Bailey; and Mr Bradlaugh defended himself. The principal evidence that was taken was that of Gus tave Stoven, which corresponded precisely with the state ment already made by him, and was to the oiled that a man named Duffman told him he could raise £lO, and on his asking him how, replied, "By making an affidavit." Duffman took him on the 28th August to Hercules-court, and pointed out Mr Frankenheim, and told him that he had become bankrupt, and had sent largo sums of money away, and himself was going to leave the country. Ho (Stoven) said he could not help his going away, and Duff man said he could earn £lO, and then ho could not go. Ile saw Duffman and a man named Cruchkoy the next morning, and they told him the money would have to bo divided. He did not understand what ho was to do, and hesitated, and Cruchkoy said there was some ono else who would do it. They told him ho would only have to sign his name, and asked him to go with them to Bishops gate-street and ho should receive £3. He went with them to Mr Leveson's cffico at about half-past eleven o'clock. Ile said Mr Bradlaugh asked him if he know Mr Frankenheim, and he told him he saw him on the previous day, when Mr Duffman pointed him out to him. Mr Bradlaugh asked him if he knew Frankenheim was about to leave the country. lle hesitated, and Duffman nudged him and said, " It's all right." lie (witness) said, "No." Mr Bradlaugh told him he need not be frightened as there was no harm to be done, and it was only a matter of form. Ho told him to go again in half-an-hour. lie went again shortly afterwards by himself, but the papers were not ready for him, lie saw Duffman and Cruchkey at the door, and afterwards went into the office with them. They had to wait a little while. Two papers were afterwards brought to him to sign, and ho did so, Mr Heal h, the commissioner, entered directly he did so, and asked him if that was his signature, and said some words similar to the oath ho had taken as witness; but he did not ask him if he know the contents. Cruchkey then wont into Mr Bradlaugh's office, and came out with some money in his hand. lie gave Duffman £2, him (witness) £3, and had £5 for himself. Tho witness said the affidavit was not road over to him, and ho did not know the contents. When asked by Mr Bradlaugh if ho knew where Frankenheim was going to, Duffman said to Paris, and ho (witness) repeated, " To Paris." Mr Bradlaugh cross-examined this witness at very con siderable length, apparently with a view to establish in his defence that the charge against him was a conspiracy ; but nothing material was elicited to favour such a result, and The case was adjourned, after having lasted nearly five hours. Extraordinary Case at Guildford. Yesterday, at the Magistrates' Clerk's office, Guildford, before the Mayor, P. W. Jacob, Esq., and J. Weele, Esq., borough magistrates, Robt, Hannam Collier, M.D.. Ph.D., F.C.S., &c., was charged with threatening to shoot Mr Marmaduke Wilkin. The defendant is well known in the scientific world as the successful inventor of a process for converting the fibre of straw into a pulp capable of being manufactured into all kinds of paper, and at the interna tional Exhibition of 1863 received the only prize medal and special mention for superiority of process in the treat ment of raw vegetable substances. The complainant is a papermaker, residing at Stoke-next-Guildford. Tho case excited great interest. The complainant deposed—l live at Laurel Villa, Stoke road. Yesterday I was at Mr Elkins's office, in Great St. Helen's, London. The defendant came in to see Mr Elkin, on business. I was in an outer office at the time, and pre sently was called in to disprove something which the de fendant had said. He threatened to print and publish a libel on my mother. I told him that if ho did so I should consider it my duty to give him a good horsewhipping. Upon this the defendant jumped up in a violent passion and called me a great many names. I rushed up to him and we closed. He put a finger to ono of my eyes and tried to gouge it out. Ho also tried to bite my nose. I struck him, and defended myself as well as I could. We were eventually separated by a person whom Mr Elkins called in. 'I he de fendant then said, "I will go and buy a six-shooter this afternoon and have your life, and the lives of all the -- Wilkins." 'This was about half past 12. I left the office and wont out for a walk. I came down to Guildford by the 5 o'clock train from London. Tho defendant was in the same train, but not in the same carriage, and when wo got out in the station yard ho called out to me, " I am ready for you this evening ; I have got it ? I supposed ho meant the revolver. lie followed mo through the town io the corner of the Commercial-road, all the way making use of threat ening and abusive language and the most dreadful oaths. Ho left me in the Commercial-road, and I wont home. The d efendant briefly cross-examined the complainant, but the fa cts of the case as deposed to remained unaltered. The complainant handed in a letter, which he alleged the defendant had sent to his house, and would explain the origin of the quarrel ; but the magistrates considered it foreign to the investigation. The defendarst, in answer to the charge, said he had no recollection of .making use of the words imputed to him concerning the pistol, Ile denied that ho had any intention in any way to injure the complainant, to whom, however, ho considered himself quite equal without the aid of a pistol ; but when the complainant spoke of " chastising " and " horsewhipping " him, as a man of honour he felt himself bound to resent the affront, and if the magistrates thought that he, ought quietly to submit to such an indig nity, then ho wa e guilty ; but ho reiterated that ho had not the most remote intention of doing the complainant any bodily injury. Tho magistrate tieoded that the charge was proved, and ordered the defendant .to find ono surety of £5O, and to be bound over himself in tine same amount, to keep the peace towards the complainant .for six months. Tho defendant entered unto the required security, and the parties then loft the court. Foreign ;lUD. Packet List. I'IA ILS DUE. Australia and Mauritius, ' Zia Southampton .. Sep t.

Tho coroner and jury had not left the inquest room more than five or ten minutes when, amid great ex citement, a respectable-looking elderly man made his ap pearance, and said ho had been to the dead-house and iden tified :tho body as that of his daughter. He stated his name to be Mr C. Prichard, upholsterer and undertaker, of No. 3, Crescent-street, Euston- square, and Adam and Eve yard,Euston-road, and said the matter had been brought to his knowledge within the last hour, under the following circumstances:—While at dinner that day ho sent for a paper to read an account of the Foresters' fete at Lord's Cricket Ground on Monday, and his eye lighted on the paragraph headed " Mysterious Death on the Metropolitan Railway," containing a description of the deceased woman. He at once recognised it as that of his daughter. He has tened to Marylebone Workhouse, where ho found his Bur -1 mises to be too true, and that the body of the deceased was really that of his child, Mr Prichard then made to those present the following statement ;—Ho said her name is Emma Jane Gollep, aged 33, the wile of Henry Gollop, a cabinetmaker to trade, re siding at 15, Harrow-street, Lisson-grove. They have three children, one 11, another six, and ono throe years of age. Her husband was an invalid and in very bad circumstances. Sho had unfortunately formed a connexion with a married man named Ilenry Powell, an organpipemaker, working, ho believed, at Messrs Gray and Davidson's, or some other organbuilders, in or near the Euston-road. On Saturday night, between 11 and 12, his son and daughter were having something to drink with him, Mr Prichard, at the Adam and Eve publichouse, near the Hampstead-road, and she went cfl in a bit of a huff, and threatened to go to her aunt, from whom she had some expectations. Tier husband left to go by the train, and on Monday morning his son in law came to him and said he believed his wife had gone off to her aunt's, as she had not come home ; brat ho added that while ho was in the train and just as ho was moving off towards Baker•street ho saw her and that. fellow Powell together on the platform, and had he seen her before the train started ho would have got out of the carriage and made her get in. They had hoard nothing of the occurrence till he had read it that day in the papers. Out:v(1400y as:nil() other relative Arrivod, and with them e=-.- Cheshire Agricultural Society. The annual exhibition of this society was held yesterday at Nantwich, in a field behind Beam-street. The inhabi tants had made great preparations to receive the society. Flags were flying from many houses, and several of the streets were spanned with evergreens and mottoes. The Local Committee had been diligently occupied for sonic months in order to afford the society a welcome, and their labours resulted in obtaining a fund of £..:35—a larger sum, we believe, than has ever previously been raised by a local committee in connection with this society. This amount was expended in local prizes, for which there were no fewer than 285 entries, in addition to the 364 entries in competi tion for the ordinary prizes offered by the society. Among the local prizes were two offered for the best. hunters, and the contest fur them created more public interest than any thing else connected with the show. A capital course had been railed off, and a good stand erected. There were three hurdles, and a fourth alongside an artificial eitch, sonle 9ft wide. Several thousands e 1 persons crowded round and within the enclosure, and watched with great pleasure the leaping of the 22 competitors. The leaping was very credit able, although only one or two cleared all the fences. The number of entries of stock was larger than usual, and the show as a whole was above the average. The stock ai peered to be of a good class, superior indeed to anything shown before at this society's cxhiLitions. The number of entries was as follows :—Horned Cattle, 59—pigs, 42 horses, 47—sheep, 85—poultry, 60. The local entries were —Cattle, 57—horses, 150—dogs, 68— fowls, 14. In respect to cheese, the show was, ns might be expected, one of the most extraordinary that has over been seen,even in Cheshire. The offer of a champion prize of .£2O was quite a new feature, and it attracted a large number of competi tors. Mr Thomas Dutton of Brindley, whose dairy h as l ong been regarded as one of the first in the county, deservedly won the much coveted honour. The number of entries in this class was 59, and of butter 14. To the ordinary attractions of an agricultural show was added a good exhibition of flowering and ornamental plants. The bands of the Nantwicla (331 Cheshire) Volunteers and of the Crewe Steam-shed were on the ground, and played a selection of music during the day. Considering the unsettled state of the weather, the largeness of the attendance was a matter of surprise. The receipts at the doors were consider ably in excess of last year, when the show was hold at Crewe. The only inconvenience was the mode of ingress and egress —a narrow passage which was crowded by the horses being led from the ground, when visitors were desir ous of leaving the show. With a laudable view of catering for the farmers' wives and daughters, while the farmers themselves were attending the annual dinner, the local committee had arranged a concert to be given at the Town Hall in the evening, to ha followed by quadrilles. Besides the prizes mentioned below, money gifts were awarded to labourers who had brought up the largest num ber of children without parochial relief, and to farm ser vants whose length of service had been longest ; and 55 young unmarried woman between the ages of 18 and 25 years, received a sovereign each, with a certificate of merit for length of service. THE DINNER. The dinner was held at the Crown Hotel, where about 150 gentlemen sat down, under the presidency of Mr R. Wilbraham, of Odde Rode, noar Congleton. Among the gentlemen present were Lord Crowe. Sir P. de M. Grey Egerton Bart., M.P. ; Messrs. P. S. Itumberston, M.P.; R. Barbour, Wilbraham Tollemache, and E. D. Broughton, and the Revs. A, F• Chater, and 11. I. Blackburnc. After the usual toasts, the Rev. A. F. Chater, vicar of Nantwich, responded for the bishop and clergy, and Mr Humberston for the army, navy, and volunteers. Mr Dutton, of Stanthorno, proposed the health of the Lord Lieutenant and the magistrates of the county. and said ho hoped that the rumour would prove true that tho Lord Lieutenant (the Marquis of Westminster) was about to be raised to a higher position in the peerage. Mr W. Tolle macho responded. Lord Crewe proposed the members for the county. Sir Philip Egerton, in responding, said he entertained the opi nion a few years ago that the multiplication of small socie ties might damage the central society, but ho had changed his opinion. That multiplication of local societies had had the effect of materially strengthening the county society. They excited an interest in districts where the county society could not penetrate, and induced farmers to come forward and compete in the larger society. Yet ho thought the small societies were too formal in their organisation, having patrons, presidents, and so forth. They should rather follow the example of those societies—like those of Over and Tarporley—which held monthly meetings, when discussions were held on farming topics. Ho wanted the Cheshire farmers _to throw away some of their modesty and come forward to communicate infor mation to their brother farmers on agricultural subjects. There had lately been an incursion upon Cheshire, and barons and squires, from another county, encouraged by their success last year, had been having a groat gathering of cattle at a Cheshire county town. That had had no effect, however, upon the show of that day. (hear, hear.) But ho hoped that there would be no more raids from Lancashire, and that Cheshire gentlemen would support their own Society. At the Agricultural society's meeting to take place at Great Budworth, Sir Harry Mainwaring was going to give a dissertation on the six curses of Cheshire. (Laugh ter.) Sir Harry's notions did not tally with his. He thought the greatest curse to a farmer in Cheshire was the pleuro pneumonia ; and anything that would alleviate or remove that dreadful disease would be the greatest benefit that could be conferred on the farmers of Cheshire. (Hear, hear.) He considered that the disease resulted more from external than internal influences. The fluctuations between warmth and cold, wet and dryness, had much to do with the disease ; and one of the most important points to be discussed by dairy farmers in Cheshire was the best mode of wintering stock upon clay farms. This was a landlord's as well as a tenant's question. (Hear, hear.) He believed that much depended on the construction of the buildings. Ho would like to see the Royal Agricultural Society propose a prize for an essay on the subject of the wintering of stock. (Applause.) Mr HUMBETISTON, in acknowledging the health of Lord Combermere, said ho had seen Baron ➢farochetti's statute of the figure of the venerable and gallant field marshal which is to be placed in front of Chester Castle, and he considered that the Baron had produced a most excellent likeness. He expected that within a year the statue would be erected. During the past session Parliament had not been unmindful of the cattle disease. Two bills directed against that disease were introduced and referred to a com mittee, which took some most important and valuable evi dence. The conclusions arrived at were that the disease was now mitigated in form; that for the last year or two it had been on the decrease ; and that the right course to take with fat stock was, to kill an animal as soon as it was attacked (when it would not be injured for feed), and to separate infected animals at once from the healthy por tion of the herd. Tho latter should bo kept in good con dition. Of course the killing of diseased animals would entail a oertein loss, but he believed that such a course would generally be the means of saving the whole stock. One of the bills was reported to the house, but the Irish members objected that some of its clauses were too stringent and it was thrown out. Some of its provisions wore, how ever, very valuable. Such were, that no man should know ingly take an infected animal into a fair—(hear, hear)_ that every care should be taken in driving such animals on the road, and that a penalty should be imposed for placing such cattle in unfenced fields or on commons. He thought there was little doubt that the bill would be in troduced again. Another bill related to the importation of cattle, the idea being that the disease did not exist origi nally among home-bred cattle. Tho CHAIRMAN gave "Success to the Cheshire Agricul tural Society." He said that, notwithstanding the recent invasion of the northerners, the mooting of that day had been a complete success. The receipts at the gates had been £24o—(applause)—against £206 last year, which was nn advance from £l6O in the previous year. Not only had the number of visitors been larger than over, but the interest taken in the welfare of the society had been greater than over. This was mainly owing to the reception given to the society by their Nantwich friends. (Hear, hear.) The com petitors would see that a good deal of change had taken place in the form of the premiums, At the annual meeting it was resolved to give a champion prize for cheese, and to increase the prizes for the best cultivated farms and for horses; those wore changes in the right direction. But he did not think that the reduction in value and the increase in the number of prizes for stock was likely to attract the winners at the local shows to send to the parent society. The result had confirmed his impression, as the show of cheese had never been equalled, while tho cattle entered, though good, were not in an increased number. He con cluded by proposing continued success to the society. (Ap plause.) There were several other toasts, chiefly of a local interest. Mr D. A. H. Lighton, who recently sustained severe injury by a fall on board her Majesty's ship Bri tannia, is doing well. Good hopes aro entertained of hi* recovery. A NOVELTY IN JOURNALISM.—French ingenuity has just devised a moans of producing a newspaper which is to bo distributed gratis, to contain no advertise monts and yet to give a profit to its proprietor. The pros pectus of the Journal (les Abonucs appears in the Figaro, but is by no means intended as a joke. The paper is to ap. pear twice a month, and to consist of 32 quarto pages. It is to contain a Parisian chronicle, reviews of books, articles on the fashions for the ladies, works of fiction, travels, S:c. Also caricatures, autographs, and occasionally music. The paper is to be white, the print good, and is to bo distributed gratis—to all persons, its projectors adds, " who commis sion me to subscribe in their name to a daily paper, to one of the principal French reviews, or to a weekly illustrated paper." While that subscription lasts, the subscriber will receive the Journal des Abonnes, whose proprietor's profit is to consist of the trade allowance made to him by the papers to which he is commissioned to subscribe. M. do Villemessant, the director of the Figaro and of ono or two other journals, announces the ap pearance of the Ist number of the new paper for the Ist of October. lle reckons on an enormous number of subscribers upon tho terms ho proposes, but even then he h e eNceouusltdo notcustom o see fa his g re w a t a m y a t on many persona profit if f h papers.
